The Armenian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv (of Lvov) (informally Lviv of the Armenians) is a dormant, non-Metropolitan archeparchy (Eastern Catholic archdiocese) of the Armenian Catholic Church sui iuris (Armenian Rite in Armenian language), covering Ukraine.

It is immediately dependent on the Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia, not part of his or any ecclesiastical province, and in Rome under the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.

Its former Cathedral archiepiscopal see, a Minor World Heritage Site, the Armenian Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, in Lviv (Львів), L’vivs’ka Oblast’, has been turned into an Orthodox church.

History

Established in 1630 as Archeparchy (Archdiocese) of Lviv (Curiate Italian Leopoli), on territory previously without Ordinary of the particular church sui iuris.

Vacant since World War II. Therefore its faithful are "also" pastorally served by the Armenian Catholic Ordinariate of Eastern Europe.
